My grandson is an Engineer at Electric Boat. He loves it.
Needless to say somebody has succeeded in getting the plans...*ALL* the plans...for this vessel to the Red Chinese. And he/she/it was probably rewarded handsomely.
And the Military-Industrial “Circle of Life” goes on. Hakuna Mattata!!!
The Electric Boat company has been building submarines since 1899 and built subs for the US Navy in both World Wars. The name stems from the fact that they always have been electrically powered when underwater and in the navy’s inscrutable wisdom, they don’t deserve to be called “a ship,” ergo they’re just boats.
They only became General Dynamics Electric Boat after WWII. They built the Nautilus (the world’s first nukular-powered pigboat) and since the early 1970s have been one of only to companies that build subs for the US.
